Lakes in discontinuous permafrost peatlands are on the front lines of climate change, sensitive to even modest increases in air temperature. The aim of this study was to provide the first limnological characterization of shallow (∼1–2 m depth) lakes in the Scotty Creek basin (Northwest Territories,...
